Bengaluru: Bengaluru Rural MP D K Suresh today said H D Kumaraswamy and some BJP leaders were behind the release of the pen drive in Hassan sex abuse case.
Speaking to reporters at his Sadashivanagar residence, he said, “Kumaraswamy and some BJP leaders had information about Prajwal Revanna’s pen drive before anyone else. They are trying to blame it on D K Shivakumar to save themselves.”
Asked about Kumaraswamy’s statement that D K Shivakumar was behind the release of Prajwal Revanna’s pen drive, he said, “Kumaraswamy can’t live without taking D K Shivakumar’s name every day. If we were releasing the pen drive, we would have done it before first phase of elections in Karnataka. Kumaraswamy and BJP leaders were the first to know about this. Kumaraswamy has been giving different statements each day. What is important is not Kumaraswamy’s statements but justice to victims of this case.”
Replying to a query on why Devarajegowda was taking D K Shivakumar’s name, he said, “He is trying to protect his political career. The incident has happened in Hassan and Hassan leaders are involved in the release. Kumaraswamy and BJP leaders are behind this. Their family members have been giving different statements each day and it is not correct to blame it on someone else.”
Asked about Devarajegowda’s statement that the pen drive had reached D K Shivakumar before it reached him, Mr Suresh said, “I don’t have information on that. There were murmurs in Hassan. Their family had even brought a stay in court too. And now the pen drive has come out in open.”
